Up or down, sleek or tousled, there's a runway-inspired hairstyle that will work for you. Here's how to replicate the prettiest ones—straight from the pros working backstage at the fall fashion shows.

DELIBERATE FRIZZ

Where we saw it: GucciHow to get it: It might sound crazy to intentionally coax out frizz, but combining it with sleek, smooth hair (in one style) will balance out any unruliness. At Gucci, hairstylist Luigi Murenu created a ponytail that was polished in the front and crimped and a bit wild in back. First, he prepped the hair with mousse before parting it at the side and adding hair spray for shine and control. He then gathered the hair into a ponytail at the nape of the neck and tied it with an elastic before crimping and back-combing the tail itself for volume.
